Lesson Learned


Well, yesterday tim and I had a rather big yet stupid argument. It wasn't nice, tim was rightly angry and hurt. I don't remember the last time I felt that angry. 

It was totally preventable and it was organic. 

What happened isn't important, it was a true accident, tim was hurt physically (not badly), but I told him to get out of the way. he took offense to my reaction and left the kitchen quietly. Which angered me more and from there it escalated. Leaving tim angry and telling me I could do one! 

Which I deserved. 

During a discussion later, tim wondered if perhaps my blood sugar may have caused my reaction. It's quite possible as normally I'm not terribly quick to anger. 

Lesson learned. I need to make sure I eat properly throughout the day so I don't end up with blood sugar issues if dinner isn't right on time. 

I apologized to my precious husband, who forgave me instantly. Reminding me again, just how lucky I am.

Sometimes, lessons need to be learned the hard way, because no matter how much we might want to be, we are not automatically wise about everything. 

And yes, I agree, you are lucky to have a wonderful soul named tim in your life. 

Of course, reading about someone else’s hard earned life lesson is a lesson learned for the rest of us as well.

I appreciate you sharing this with the rest of us, Mike. 

Thank you :)

I'm glad things settled for you guys. I feel your pain. I am hyperglycemic, and it's the cause of most of the spats between me and my husband. I know you're not asking for help or advice here, but the mother hen in me wants to point out a couple tips that will help you or anyone that ends up with their sugars dropping. Always have orange juice or simple syrup on hand, those two are the healthiest way to get your sugars to spike. Sugar water lasts a long time with out expiring, we keep a soda bottle of it in our fridge. Another thing is making sure you are eating enough carbs and protiens, that's the reasons snickers bars work so well when people are "hangry", they have quick sugars, carbs, and proteins. The last thing eating on time, set an alarm if ya have too, but make sure you eat something every 3-4 hours, it doesn't have to be a meal. Just a hand full of nuts, or a few slices of apples. Random sugar drops can happen to anyone, whether you have a condition or not. I am sorry for the long and unsolicited response, but living with sugar problems for 30 years now I figured a couple tips would be beneficial to you and anyone who reads this.

Thank you for taking the time! Please don't be sorry for being both kind and thoughtful!  Tips and suggestions are welcome!
